jlaits Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 After it dies out on me I can start it right back up and go for a few more mins then dies out again. Idles perfect and sounds good throughout the gears. Ohmed the oem stator and was in spec. Wiring has no burns or anything. I have extra ground wire from frame to engine. Ohmed coil but was getting weird readings. I think it's my meter. Tors completely removed from harness. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 If your tester is good enouph to ohm stator it should work on coil, if your getting a bouncing reading in the caps take caps off and test rite to wires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting a used oem coil to replace the aftermarket one I have now just to be sure. I think it was a bronco? I got it from a dealer for $40 when I was chasing a no spark issue years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Get the bike hot to where it shuts down. Then test the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlaits Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Check gas tank and carb vents.I took off the breather valve on the cap and it still did it. Didn't check the screen in the tank. I cleaned out the tank in 2010 probably do for a cleaning anyway. Carbs were throughly cleaned in August with all new vent hoses. Thanks for the idea. I'll check it out this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginger Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 i know the coils generally fail while hot, so i would test that too. or if a buddy has one, borrow it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlaits Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 i know the coils generally fail while hot, so i would test that too. or if a buddy has one, borrow it. I just bought a used oem coil off a member to see if that's it. That was my first thought also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Make sure u ohm the caps .3.5-7.5 kohm is where I usually see them if caps are good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlaits Posted October 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 this is the only way it will read anything. I'm thinking my meter is to cheap. This is my old coil. I put the used oem on and it started up but don't have time to go for a ride until tomorrow to see if it still shuts down on me Sent from my LG-H900 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlaits Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Well I finally got a chance to take a ride. When the bike shut off again after about 20 minutes of riding I checked the oem stator and the ignition coil ohmed out to 22.4 and the pickup was 136.2. So the stator must be it being that the ignition coil is 1.9 over the range. I really was hoping it wasn't bad. I do have a rm stator that works but I don't trust it. Cold stator ignition 17.6 pickup 113.9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlaits Posted October 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Well it still did it after swapping stators. I'm leaning towards cdi. It is a Ricks electric I believe the red one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
